This is probably the best boxing game since Frank Bruno's Boxing on the ZX Spectrum. Slug it out with a good range of punches and combos or dance round the ring like Ali. Obviously the main plot is Rocky's latter day contest with Mason 'The Line' Dixon, but the real heroin is being able to play the classic fights from Rockys I-IV including Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago and Mr T. Mickey the trainer helps out with the tutorials, but sadly there's no place for Paulie or "Adriaaaaaan!" Still, you can't have everything.
